ADDITION OF ALCOHOLS / GRIGNARD REAGENT / HALOFORM REACTION

ADDITION OF ALCOHOLS

It has been demonstrated that water adds rapidly to the carbonyl function of aldehydes and ketones to form
geminal-diol. In a similar reaction alcohols add reversibly to aldehydes and ketones to form hemiacetals (hemi, Greek, half). This reaction can continue by adding another alcohol to form an acetal.


GRIGNARD REAGENT

The Grignard Reaction is the addition of an
organomagnesium halide (Grignard reagent) to a ketone or aldehyde, to form a tertiary or secondary alcohol, respectively. The reaction with formaldehyde leads to a primary alcohol.


HALOFORM REACTION

Haloform Reaction. The haloform reaction is the reaction of a methyl ketone with chlorine, bromine, or iodine in the presence of hydroxide ions to give a carboxylate ion and a haloform. There is one aldehyde that undergoes the haloform reaction, which is acetaldehyde
